Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, the messiah, her miracle babies, and her dwindling entourage wander the desert in pursuit of a star, only to be met by three wise men. Well...not all of them are men, and none of them are wise, but you get the idea.
This week, we:
-Rank our favorite Star Wars movies (lest we be the only ones not to)
-Discuss our...mixed feelings about Dany's prophetic arc in ACOK and her spiritual place in general
-Praise how George writes Dany as a young mother, albeit of lizards
-Dig into the layers of imagery and metaphor in this chapter's settings, the Red Waste and Vaes Tolorro
-Begrudgingly allow Jorah Mormont to tell his mediocre life story
Next week: Pig-faced shit-knight Amory Lorch wipes out the heroic grump Yoren of the Night's Watch, along with most of his ragged fellowship, in ACOK Arya IV! Can't wait until Lorch dies.

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, we are joined once more by our own High Inquisitor Frank B as the onion knight gives the freshly crowned Stannis Baratheon some sensible advice, only to get a Shakespeare monologue for his trouble.
This week, we:
- Break down Stannis' public letter declaring himself the rightful king
- Analyze both the simplicity *and* complexity of the Stannis-Davos dynamic
- Dig into the layers of meaning contained in Stannis' brief mention of his parents' deaths
- Expose and then set fire to Stannis' heart with the Proudwing backstory
- Discuss whether Stannis and Davos will ever meet again in the books (they won't)
Next week: Another brand new POV walks smugly and confidently into a series of rakes in ACOK, Theon I!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, the humbly-born moral compass of Westeros bears witness to the ascension of gods, kings, and his own uncertain fortunes.
This week, we:
- Talk about Stannis' transactional, Roman relationship with R'hllor
- Discuss, argue, debate over Davos as a POV and whether Stannis or Davos is the bigger hero
- Balance Stannis' justice vs. R'hllor
- Analyze the Azor Ahai ceremony on the beach and a parallel Azor Ahai proclamation in ADWD
- Dig in deep on the Azor Ahai story and a staggering omission on Melisandre's part
Next week: Guestember continues with High Inquisitor Frank B returning for Stannis' letter, the Windproud and Proud Wing and so much more in the 2nd half of Davos I!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, Tyrion informs Janos Slynt that the company’s moving in a different direction, but they’ll be sure to keep his resume on file.
This week, we:
-Debate who qualifies as protagonist of each book in the series
-Praise how George paces Tyrion's tipping point from luring in Janos Slynt to turning on him
-Discuss the many ways in which Tyrion's victory is undercut, from Cersei to Bronn
-Take a deep dive into the layers of political meaning in Varys' riddle
-Put that riddle in context with the reveal of Young Griff
Next week: Guestember continues with our own High Inquisitor--and Stannerman supreme--Frank B for Davos I, which will be another two-parter episode! It's not our fault the Dragonstone chapters are the best!
